(We got to play some Medieval dice games, and talk about gambling a little bit, too)<br /><br />(Shameless plug time: follow our blog: http://hwaettheswyve.blogspot.com)<br /><br />Ben and I are currently looking for ideas for our next session, in two weeks&#39; time, and having read the preview articles, we may run a session on Medieval disability, or something similar - unless someone on here is essentially willing to do my work for me (!) and suggest a brilliant topic?<br /><br />Even if not, I&#39;m really quite looking forward to losing a weekend to the first issue when I get my hands (or eyes) on it.<br /><br />Much Love,<br /><br />MikeYork CMS Postmedieval Reading Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679333256880248770noreply@blogger.com
